Support of highly virtualized environments through industry-leading 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel performance. Both internal and external ports support auto-negotiation speed for flexibility and investment protection (4, 8 or 16 Gbit/s for external ports and 8 or 16 Gbit/s for internal ports).

High Density Virtualization

Non-blocking architecture that supports aggregate bandwidth of up to 768 Gbit/s of end-to-end full duplex throughput.

Supports frame-based trunking with up to eight 16 Gbit/s ports per ISL trunk, for a total of up to 128 Gbit/s balanced throughput. Trunking of the SAN-facing ports with external switches provides a high-bandwidth solution while lowering costs through fewer SFPs and cables. Exchange-based Dynamic Path Selection (DPS) optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric.
